There is no physical structure separating the naso- and oropharynx (or between the oro- and laryngopharynx for that matter). They are simply different regions of the pharynx with no clear cut borders between them. However, one can say that the oropharynx starts at about the level of C2 vertebral bone; and the larygnopharynx from below the hyoid bone.
